Refine Your RC Damping with Tamiya Grease

Tamiya 53174 Friction Damper Grease (Soft) is crafted to improve suspension response on RC cars. It performs well in triple disc friction dampers and stays consistent across variable track temperatures.

Effect on on-track control

Replacing stock lubricant with this soft grease increases damping firmness, giving the car a steadier, more predictable feel. That makes steering inputs more precise on high-traction layouts.

Where this grease shines

Recommended for F103 and F103L style chassis and other cars using similar friction damper arrangements. Use it for practice runs or race days when you need tighter handling and reduced chassis movement.

Will this grease affect ride height or spring action?

No, it mainly affects damping behaviour. Spring rate and ride height remain unchanged unless you alter springs or preload.

Is it suitable for outdoor running in different temperatures?

Yes. The formula is designed to provide steady damping across a broad temperature range, keeping feel consistent whether cool or warm.

Can I mix this grease with other damper oils or greases?

It is best used on its own for predictable results. Mixing greases can change damping characteristics in unpredictable ways.

Any tips for cleaning before application?

Remove old lubricant and contaminants with a suitable cleaner, let parts dry, then apply a light, even coat of grease to the friction surfaces.
